Question: Is the throwout bearing the same on the 2016 as the 2013? Did toyota address this problem in later model years or will I just be replacing a faulty part with another of the same faulty part that will eventually melt.

Other option is spend X3 the amount on a brand new exedy stage 1. Thoughts?
The 16 bearing is covered by the TSB so it is the same as the earlier ones. Need to get the 17 up one for it to be the new part. They are not expensive though.
